through the night with gusty south winds. we might see some wind gusts over 30, 40 miles per hour tomorrow afternoon. possibly even up to 50 miles an hour when some of the thunderstorms come through. so just be aware of that. winds will die down after that going into friday. it will be brisk, but not that bad. the weekend, we had to prepare for more chilly temperatures. still below average. by some 15 degrees. only in the 40s during the day. but by sunday, should it be nice and sunny. it's just that saturday will have a mix of clouds and a few showers here and there. so once again, with the seven-day forecast, we are up and down in the temperature department. get your rain gear ready for tomorrow. next big chance for rain after tomorrow will be again next week on tuesday. and that's the next big warm day. we're back up to 60. can't seem to coordinate now. warm temperatures with the sunshine. but eventually that will happen. probably by the middle of next week. >> okay, just not eventually yet. >> it's not here yet, no. all right. so bruce, there is always times to redeem yourself in sports. >> exactly.
